Frank B. Clarke, of the Omaha road,
spent the greater portion of the after
noon among the paintings in the art
gallery, but the races caught him for an
luur or so.

To Avoid Much Switching.

Some weeks ago when the Minnesota
s. Northwestern reduced the rates on
freight, the GLOBE called that road
thorn in the flesh of all the other roads.
This same road has now maintained its
reputation in this respect by another act
which demonstrates the truth of the
GLOBES original assertion. Heretofore
Chicago has had the unenviable distinc-
tiOn of having all its depots so far apart
that freight coming west or going east
had to be got across the city from one
depot to another the best way possible.
In case of carlots the cars had to be
switched around the city in most be-
wildering manner. This inconvenience
the Minnesota & Northwestern has OBJ
waited by building a transfer house
little to the southeast of the Union stock
yards and in direct connection with all
the Eastern roads. If goods come
through in carloads the cars can be
switched direct to the Minnesota &
Northwestern track and can come right
through without trouble. If they come
in broken lots, all that needs to be done
is to transfer the goods to the Minnesota
& Northwestern cars, without having to
be switched and carted all around the
city at great expense. This is matter
of a good deal of Importance to the
shippers of Minneapolis and st. Paul.

Those men walking around the
grounds yesterday with dainty blue
badges of satin futtering on their
breasts were commercial travellers.
They were the men who have helped
materially to build up the commercial
interests of the Northwest. Two hum
dred and fifty strong they came down
from Minneapolis and were virtually
given possession of the Fair grounds for
the day. These men gathered at the
West hotel, Minneapolis, yesterday
morning at o'clock, and headed by the

down Fifth street to Nicollet avenue,
down Nicollet to Washington, up Wash

A Long Time Lease.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Minn., Sept. 15.-Papers
were filed this afternoon recording a
lease for ninety-nine years to the Duluth
& Iron Range railroad by the st. Paul &
Duluth railroad of the right to use the
lines already constructed and to con-
struct and operate other lines from the
point of construction of the two roads in
the eastern part of the city to Chester
creek, distance of $500 feet and
seventy-fve feet wide. The Iron
Range road agrees to pay annual rental
of per cent. of the sum of $4,000,
said sum being the value of the property
leased. A clause in the agreement
gives the Duluth road the privilege of
purchasing half interest in the tracks
so constructed, in which event the lease
becomes perpetual. This disposes of
the last legal difficulty in the way of a
perfect union between the roads named,
and besides affording facilities for the
running of suburban trains paves the
way for proceeding with the construc-
tion of the proposed union depot.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The committee
on export rates, appointed at the con-
ference of representatives of the trunk

to restore, Sept. 10, the inland rates on

thus established will continue until
some future time when the committee
will make the rates on export on
freiglts. The action taken is consid-
cred as only a temporary makeshift.

New YORK, Sept. 15.-The stock
holders of the Northern Pacific railroad
met at 1 p. m. to-day and voted for a
new board of directors for the ensuing
year. The meeting adjourned after the
vote until tomorrow to give the tellers
a chance to count the vote. Following
is the only ticket that was in the field
and which is undoubtedly elected:
August Belmont, Frederick Billings,
John V. BrOOkman, Benjamin P. Che

Thomas F. Oakes. Charles B. Wright,
Henry Willard, Edwin 81. Abbott.
Charles L. Colby, Colgate Hoyt and
John B. Trevor. Many heavy stock
holders were present, prominent among
them being Henry Willard who voted on
3S0, 900 shares of stock. The vote cast
is believed to be the heaviest in the
history of the company. The reports
of President Harris early retirement
are confirmed but it is said that he Will

NEW YORK, Sept, 15.-As predicted
in the New York dispatches yesterday,
Henry Willard came to the surface as a
prominent factor in the Northern Pa
cific to-day. When he shook hands
with the other directors he looked a
trifie more gray and aged than when, in
the full zenith of his power, he drove
that golden spike on the Northern Pa
clfic road, but his financial downfall left
no lines on his face. He stood as erect
and looked as little careworn as any

them again in less time than most men
win their thousands, and every finan-
cler at the election paid him Difference.
The entire vote cast was 725, 600 shares.
Implications of proxies caused the old
management to feel secure, but when it
came to a vote it was found the Willard
party had secured SO many revOcations
of proxies already given that it became
necessary to adjourn the meeting until
tomorrow to enable the inspectors tc
count the votes and make up report
What the policy OF the new board will
be it Willard ideas are carried zout is
plainly indicated in letter of his on the
subject made public here tonight. He
declares the best plan to secure har-
mony between the Northern and Union
Pacific lies in the joint lease of the
pany by the two Paeifics, Northern and
Union. 1t is said this will be one of the
first facts of the new board. 1t is stated
the presidency was offered to Willard
but he declined. 1t is thought the pres
ent officers will all be reelected, but the
retention of the presidency by Robert
Harris viii be be only little while, as
this office has been promised to Vice

steamer from Isle Royal reports that
the late lake storm in that vicinity was
the most violent ever known. For
three days the lake was lashed into a
sheet of foam and the island was
deluged with clouds of mist and spray,
The wind was terrific and a number of
fishermen's buildings were unroofed
and seriously damaged. No lives were
lost. The popularity of the storm has
been to drive all the fish from the south
to the north side of the island, where
the catch is reported as unusually large.

THE HADDoCK MURDER.

All the testimony In For ana
Against Fred Munchrath.
Special to the Globe
SIOUX CITY, To-, Sept. 15.-In the
HaddOck case to-day Mrs. Munchrath,
wife of the defendant, was the first wit
ness on the stand. She said she remem-
bered the night of the killing. Her hus-,
band came home fifteen or twenty min
utes after 10 that evening, and went out
to see his folks, who had returned from
Milwaukee, returning about 10:45. He
did not wear rubber coat that evening.
After her testimony the defense rested,
and the state called witnesses for rebut-
tai. KoschneitZka or Bismarck" was
called, and then Leavitt. Both contra
dicted the testimony of Charles Schlers,
who testified earlier in the trial. D. A.
Magee then took the stand and said that
he heard the shot, his residence being
one block from the scene. He
got up at once and looked out,
but could see no one. An entirely
new witness was then introduced in the
person of John E. Robson, formerly
superintendent of the city water works
and first class man in all that goes to
make good citizen. He was living
here at the time and was at Junk's that
evening by himself. The defense here
made strong objection to the witness ON
the ground that, as required by law,
they had no notice that the state intend
ed to introduce the witness. Over
ruled. Robson then testified that while
at Junk'S eight or ten men came in. but
he did not notice them going out. When
he went out the men were out on the
sidewalk in front of the billiard hall.
He noticed among the group Arensdorf
| and Leavitt. The party all went west.
He did not see anybody go east. The
evidence of this witness
SHOOK ARENSDoRF'S ALIBI,
Munchrath, if he was in the crowd,
went west. Robson proves this, and is
the first witness yet introduced who
says that Arensdorf went west toward
the scene of the killing. After the cross
examination of this witness an adjourn
ment for noon was taken. after which
Hon. E. H. Hubbard opened the argu-.
ment on the law questions, before be-
ginning the argument before the jury.
| The law questions were matter of dis
| tinctiOn between accessory and princi-'
pal. The defendant was charged with
| advising and abetting the deed. The de-
| fendant was not anticipating the sad re-
suit. When the defendant engaged in
a criminal enterprise he was responsible
| for the result. He made reference to
| the anarchist trials just concluded, and
sought to establish the liability of the
defendant because as in the case of the
| anarchist trials they were not present,
but were proven conspirators. Mr.. Hub
bard:s argument was exhaustive and
able and occupied a good share of the
afternoon. 1t is now hoped to get the
| case to the jury by Saturday night.
